cxgvd Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Here is my list of important cars from Buick in the early days which I feel made GM a viable concern. The model C of 1905 continued as the Model F and G, popular today with the one and two cyl bunch. The Model 10 was built starting in 1908 and continued, growing larger, adding electric start and left hand drive, until 1915. Historian say the Model 10 was the only profitable GM car and was the cornerstone of the company. The big six, series 55, began in 1914 and propelled Buick into the twenties with a modern engineering. Also built but in smaller numbers the lovely and powerful Model 17 and the smallest car the Model 14 were less meaningful to GM, though popular today. The Model 45 is a wonderful car, roomy and fast, just outside the HCCA date. Really just an exercise to show some snap shots of early Buicks, but feel free to comment. The first is a 1908 Model F, mostly original and very old restoration. Then a pair of 1912 Model 25 series. A 1914 Model 55, 5 passenger touring car. Three model 31's with a model F and finally the penultimate, 1915 V-12. Regards, Gary 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Thank you Gary. I did love seeing the Marr owned V-12 at the Old car festival. Also our ride with you around the grounds in your 1913. Unfortunately my camera's SD card became corrupted and lost all my Old Car festival photos. But I did have a few photos of the V-12 saved.
